Nigerian Delicacies: BOILED YAM WITH GARDEN EGG SAUCE

Garden eggs are vegetables rich in vitamins E, C, and B6 and minerals such as Calcium, Phosphorous, Copper, Zinc and Iron. They come in two main colours: yellow, white or green colours. Some come in a combination of two colours: green and white or yellow and green. Garden eggs could be eaten uncooked or in this case, cooked. Either way, it is still healthy and rich in nutrients.
This recipe could be served as breakfast or as a light evening meal.

1. Wash the garden eggs and bring to boil in a small pot. Boil for about 10 minutes under moderate heat. When the garden eggs are soft, remove them and put in cold water (this helps with the easy peeling off of the skin). After peeling, set aside.
2. Heat palm oil in a pan; add the chopped onions and stir fry for a minute; add tomatoes and stir as well for another one minute. Add your fish or prawns. Then your seasoning cubes and salt to taste. Add a little water if the sauce appears to be drying out and stir. When the onions have softened, add your cooked and peeled garden eggs and mash into the sauce. Stir well and add more salt if required. Let it simmer under low heat for 3-5 minutes.
3. Peel, wash and boil the yam, adding salt to taste. When cooked, drain excess water and serve yam with the garden egg sauce…chow away, honey! *wink*

Pearly teeth, beautiful eyes, superb afro, fist sized breasts, unbelievable waist, not so wide a hip, a perfect curve of a rump that could pass for a Guinness Book of Records contender, and above all of these; a beautiful mind with the sweetest demeanor. Well, that was until fourteen months ago. He had done the right thing, he had married his queen. He loved how she still decked herself in her finery, her denim pants and turtlenecks when outside and her wicked bum shorts when they were alone. How glorious that day felt when five months into their marriage, she showed him the result of the pregnancy test. She still wore her tight fitting outfits, she was still smashing hot, but the demeanor diminished with each passing trimester. Her cravings were unbelievable; if she wanted coffee, it had to be from the Colombian mountains and they had to be beans of a certain weight and harvested at a certain altitude. If she wanted chocolates, it had to be made from cocoa plucked at 5:15 in the morning in the south of Ghana. If it wasn’t catfish with three pairs of whiskers with the exact same length caught from the Ikogosi warm spring (an impossibility mind you), then the peppersoup was cyanide to her. Her demands became more unimaginable as her denims became more difficult to fit in. “Hurry up, Enyinnaya, aaaah!” she grunted in pain.

Moremi and the other demigods had never even seen the mythical “Script” much less read it, so she found it difficult to believe the senseless killings going on in her precious Nigeria would eventually lead to any good. Her mind was made up, she would find another demigod who would join her and return to earth to prevent more massacres and the looming war. She knew it would be a difficult task as security measures to deter higher beings from going to earth were constantly being improved especially after the most recent incident when Hancock and a few other angels decided to use earth as a vacation spot and parade themselves as superheroes to the humans. She also knew, that what she was about to do was a risk worth taking and she would have no regrets even if non of the other demigods joined her and she got caught trying to return to earth. “Maybe its part of my role in ‘The Script’”, she thought to herself, “After all, I was once human”.
